The Madness of Now
Picture a fork.
Now imagine that the fork has for some reason entered the National Discourse.

"A fun and biting collection of fantasy short stories. I don't usually get into short stories, but these all flowed and came together in a satisfying way. "

| The prose instantly drew me in. It's so well crafted. Maruyama successfully lulls the reader into a sense of contentment enjoying the everyday life of the narrator while building the sense of menace, and then delivers an ending that all at once seems ...more | |

It was nice to see you all as well.
The protagonist in Whisperer... I don't think I intended her to be under the influence during the time period covered in the book. Sleep deprived, certainly, but while I discussed some of her past drug use, that was mostly for the purpose (along with the sleep deprivation) of establishing her as an unreliable narrator.
Welcome to Goodreads!
And good luck with the writing. My best advice is keep at it. It doesn't always make me happy, but I usually feel less crappy if I write than if I don't.
Cheers and I hope you all have a good rest of summer too!
